A TikToker user is sparking debate after they posted an “unethical life hack” about what to do when someone is reclining their seat in front of you on a plane.
SNIP
“When you are on a flight and the person in front of you reclines their seat all the way and leaves you no room,” they advised.
“Turn on the air-con above you on full blast and point it at the top of their head.”

I have a “hack” for someone that does that. It’s called “alerting the flight attendant”.
my little rule is this: I never recline my seat, until the person in front of me reclines his.
All is fair in love and knee room.
“No, sorry. Every passenger has a right to use that reclining option.”
Your rights end where my rights begin.
I forget, do those things turn 360? turn yours on and point it back at them...
I know I’m living in a foreign country. It’s just click bait but still the aholes are coming out of the woodwork.
airplane seats don’t recline enough to really bother me. Moreover, I just then recline mine.
Its called “not being a snowflake.”
I haven’t flown for at least 15 years, but I never did expect perfect comfort. Flying was something to endure until I could get off the plane. People reclining their seats was not a big deal, but rotten little kids kicking the back of my seat was something I could do without.
I hate when people put their hands on the back of their seat and cover my TV. But it’s nothing a bead of mayonnaise doesn’t fix.
I liked flying, so I could read with mostly no interruptions.
I am on business travel today. I thought of that on the flight out to my work location. Some “person” decided he had to put his head in my lap - i also had a hot cup of coffee - I don’t think he realized how precarious the situation actually was.

You obviously never needed to use a laptop on a plane....
If the seat is designed to recline then that space belongs to the person in that seat. Your space is behind you, recline yours if you want to claim it. It’s unbelievable to me that some jerks think they should be able to prevent the person in front of them from using the seat they paid for. They need to get a life.
The only way to fix this is for Joe to have an executive order forcing airlines to give enough leg room to stretch completely out and lie flat if need be to sleep.
It’s the only way.
"Can't we all get along?"
No. We can't.
This thread demonstrates it.
F’ air travel.. and F’ TSA, after years of travel all over the world and nearly a million miles on then Northwest alone not to mention all the other airlines and the thousands of hours in military aircraft I quit flying in 2012. I would have taken military Space A but not in today’s military.
I’d rather walk across America then fly and with all the delays and azzholes you deal with it might not be quicker but far more relaxing.
